How do I keep the roll at a set position, such as rolled up or partially rolled down? I don't see any way to keep it from rolling once it's in position.
When utilizing the Impact Varidrive with Silver Metal Chain, the roll can be at a set position based on how much tension is placed on the wheels on the back of the drive. Additionally, you can also add a counterweight to the roll such as the Savage Leader Bar. You may find the options for that product here. https://bhpho.to/3ChA3EZ

What would you suggest for a 50lb paper roll?
What would you suggest for a 50lb paper roll?
Regarding the Impact Varidrive Set with Metal Chain (Silver), 42 lb / 19.1 kg is the load limit of the drives. The 50 lb rolls are too heavy/not recommended.

I own 2 of these. One of them the tension on the chain to unroll is very tight--I have to pull hard to bring the paper down. On my other one, the tension is so loose it doesn't want to stop unrolling. This makes me believe that there is a way to adjust the tension but I can't figure it out. To be clear, the entire roll and chain/gear/pulley keep unrolling, it's not just the paper tube not being tightly attached to the rods. How do you adjust?
The side that doesn’t have the chain, there is a knob that loosens and tightens. It’s where the bracket mounts on the arm.

Is this works with savage port A stand?
Is this works with savage port A stand?
I think it would be awkward at best. These work best on a bracket anchored to the wall. That said, if you mounted the bracket to the stands it could conceivably work, but it'd be wobbly

question
I have this system I use for 2- 9 ft paper rolls and it worked fine for awhile but now when I move the chains it isnt catching the rolls and unwinding as it should. I have tried taking it off and reinstalling and tightening and everything. any ideas on what could be the problem?
There is a tension control on the drive without the chain to control how loose or how tight the drive will move. If this does not correct the issue, I would recommend speaking with the manufacturer by calling 212-594-2120.
